What is the formula of hydrogen carbonates?
It is KHCO3
Are feldspar and quartz carbonates?
Feldspar and quartz are not carbonates (carbonate minerals). They are silicates because they have Silica (Si) in the formula. Quartz is SiO2. Feldspar is a mineral group (feldspars) They have a variable composition that gneerally depends on the amount of Ca, Na or K in their chemical formula. An example of feldspar is Albite NaAlSi3O8. Carbonates have CO3 in their chemical formula. Two examples are Calcite (CaCO3) and Siderite (FeCO3).
What is the name and formula of carbonates?
MeCO3 where Me is a metal.Ex.: sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, uranyl carbonate, etc.
What is the formula for lead 5 carbonate?
Lead carbonates are PbCO3 and Pb(CO3)2; lead (5) carbonate doesn't exist.
What do all carbonates react with?
Carbonates react with hydrochloric acid.
What reacts with carbonates a base or an acid?
As carbonates are mildly basic, anything acid will react with them (releasing carbon dioxide gas).
What acids make carbonates?
The acid that makes carbonates is carbonic acid.
What mineral group does aragonite belong to?
Aragonite is a common carbonate mineral that is a polymorph of calcite. It is classified as a member of the aragonite group and belonging to the class of carbonates.
Does carbonates contain silicon?
No, carbonates do not contain silicon. Carbonates are composed of carbon and oxygen, typically combined with a metal such as calcium, magnesium, or iron. Silicon is a separate element found in silicate minerals.
What mineral group are calcite dolomite and rhodochrosite in?
Calcite belongs to the carbonates.
Is hydrochloric acid the only acid which reacts with carbonates?
No, any strong acid will react with carbonates.
How can you use carbonic acid in a sentence?
The salts of carbonic acids are called bicarbonates (or hydrogen carbonates) and carbonates.
